Introduction
1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a MS-PE Series inverter/charger from Magnum Energy. The
MS-PE Series is a “pure” sine wave inverter designed especially for rugged mobile applications,
home backup power, and standalone applications that require 230 VAC/50 Hz power. Powerful,
yet simple to use, this inverter/charger will provide you with years of trouble-free performance
you have come to expect from Magnum Energy.
When the power requirements of the system are beyond the capacity of a single MS-PE Series
inverter or the system is expanded as more loads are added, up to four MS-PE Series inverters
can be connected together in a parallel confi guration. Connecting inverters in parallel increases
the overall inverter power and surge capacity to power a large single load or several smaller loads.
Info: This is a sizeable manual and much of it is fairly technical. Terms may be used
throughout the manual that are unfamiliar to you. Refer to the Inverter/Charger
Terminology glossary in Appendix D for clarifi cation.
The MS-PE Series inverter/charger includes the following:
• 4100 or 4300-watt models in a small footprint installation
• Ability to parallel up to four identical MS-PE inverters to increase output power capability
• Automatic
Power Factor Corrected (PFC) multi-stage battery charging
• RS485 standard communication protocol
• Remote and Network ports (easy connection for optional accessories)
• Inverter-mounted ON/OFF switch with LED indicator
• 30-amp AC pass-thru capability
• DC terminal covers with 360 degree connection
• Field-serviceable for qualifi ed personnel—tested repair kits available
• Automatic battery temperature compensation (using a battery temperature sensor)—for
optimum charging even during extreme temperature changes
• Overcurrent, over-temperature, and high/low battery voltage protection
Info: Refer to the Optional Equipment and Accessories section in Appendix A-2 for a
list of accessories available for use with your MS-PE Series inverter/charger.
